Do What You Can to Get By
Verse chords: D G | chorus chords: G D G D A G D
[V1]
What happened to me, a life so overjoyed
Eyes sparkling twenty years ago, in an old polaroid
On a Sunday afternoon, in the light of the setting sun
From the window of a dusty old bedroom
Oh, loneliness and I are one
[C1]
This life takes so much out of you, I don’t know why
I can’t understand it, no matter how hard I try
You just do what you can to get by
[V2]
I’ve been up and down this hard road, I’ve looked in towards myself
I’ve been searching, searching for something else
I’ve looked to my father, I’ve searched inside his eyes
But they yielded no more answers, just another disguise
[C2]
This life takes so much out of you, I don’t know why
I can’t understand it, no matter how hard I try
You just do what you can to get by
[V3]
There’s something about the ocean, in the waves and the ways it moves
In the light of morning sun I am renewed
I guess I’ll call my girl up, crack a beer and watch a TV show
And I’ll find the truth I’m looking for tomorrow
